So sorry to hear of Penny’s passing....he’ll always be Penny to me. I’m sure he and mother are having a good laugh in heaven. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Our plans were to be there but were not told of the arrangements until almost noon today. When we called Amanda, Stephanie, and Dana they were saddened to here of Vernon's passing. They intended to go together and send flowers when I knew the arrangements but that was not possible at this late time. Please know we are thinking about you and saddened we were not able to attend. The girls and their families as well as John and me will keep you in our prayers. Our love.
I'm so sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
